Coach Jessica Isaacs breaks down 5 Energy Boosting Pre-Workout Foods ⚡️🍌
Goals for Pre-Workout Fueling:
1️⃣ Maximize energy availability
2️⃣ Minimize stomach upset
→ Carbohydrates are our body and brain’s main source of energy.
→ There are simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.
→ Simple carbohydrates can be quickly converted to energy by the body without requiring much work from the digestive system.
→ Complex and fiber-rich carbohydrates are great options for meals and throughout the day, but take longer to breakdown and convert to energy.
To maximize energy availability 30-60 minutes pre-workout, the best option is a source of simple carbohydrates.
To minimize stomach upset – keep fat and fiber minimal in the pre-workout snack (digest slowly)
Protein digests faster than fat, but can still cause stomach upset if too much is eaten too close to training. If training for less than an hour, no protein is necessary pre-workout. If training for more than an hour, low to moderate protein (10-15g) may be beneficial.
Food #1: Fruit 🍊
→ Great source of simple carbohydrates + packed with important vitamins and minerals.
→ Fresh, frozen, dried, or canned fruit works
→ Aim for 30-60 grams of carbohydrates (medium banana, 2 cups berries, small handful of dried fruit)
Food #2: Fruit Smoothie 🥤
→ Great option for early training and not much of an appetite, for nervous or queasy stomach, or aren’t used to eating before a workout.
→ 1-2 cups of frozen fruit + 1-2 cups of 100% fruit juice like orange juice or apple juice.
→ Blend together and enjoy!
Food #3: Bread 🥖
→ Toast, bagel, English Muffin, etc.
→ Keep fiber minimal – opt for white bread over wheat or whole grain bread in the hour before exercise.
Food 4: Energy chews or Fruit chews ⚡️
→ Performance based chews with and without caffeine
→ Or simple, store bought fruit snacks
→ Added sugars = simple carbohydrates and appropriate pre-workout
Food #5: Greek Yogurt Bowl 🥣
→ Simple carbohydrates + some protein
→ Good choice for longer training sessions
→ Plain or flavored Greek yogurt + berries or other fruit, granola, and/or honey

Mam can I eat date before workout or after workout
I wouldn’t mess with flavored yogurt, too much sugar, but plain Greek yogurt is better.
Sick shirt!
First
Black Coffee only
. Nothing else.. or
Empty stomach is best
Pre workout.. no need for any of the foods above.. look at this woman.. she is soft looking
.no muscle definition
Definitely should not be followed for anyone low carb or keto 🙂
I know you’re freaking hot but I’m definitely not putting bleached and rich white bread in my body if at all possible especially not before a work out. And if you’re in the gym lifting in a moderate to heavy workout protein is just fine for a workout. It’s definitely recommended.
Should I take protein powder supplements on rest days
Fat gives the most energy this womans a fool

great video 🙂
are you talking about ‘lcms" haha
Tks for those tips 👍
Take those rings out of your nose. U ain’t cute with them
No mention of Caffeine anywhere
Simple carbs before training? U guys give different info on ur web site. I have tried both. And the one that I first learned from u where u guys day to eat lean protein and complex carbs before training works best I find. The 20 grams of protein powder with a small sweet potato 30 minutes before training is one of the best. I also put coffee in there. Now that’s some serious energy. The simple carbs bfore training makes me crash like 30 minutes into my workout.
Amino Acids
Carbs are crucial
Simple carbs are good pre workout
1) fruits (30-60 min before)
2) fruit smoothie (30-60 min before)
3) bread/bagel
4) chews
5) greek yoghurt bowl
What’s that 💩 all over her arms?
Thanks Great Advice
Great! Love From Salem, India.
A drink olive 🫒 oil as pre-workout
My favorite has been this. I eat it 90 minutes before I start warming up.
Meal 4- preworkout- 11oz in total – 1 serving cream of rice, 1 scoop Gaspari Proven Egg, 1/4 tsp coconut oil, 1/4 tsp pink salt, 1/2 tbsp Pruvia sweetener.
*06/21 added in 1 cup topping of Birthday or Fruity Marshmallow Pebbles cereal- 35g carbs, 150 calories.
👍
"bread is a great choice before a workout" lol
Thanks for sharing
Great Video, TY
Peace be upon you.
believe in ALLAH (GOD) and the judgement day and do good deeds.
cover your body more than that , that will be better for you in this life and the hereafter.
Anyone saying added sugar is good, is wrong.
The problem here is these are all high sugar options, and if you’re on a low sugar diet that’s tough.
Banana and caffeine for me.
It actually just depends on the person and what works best for them!🤠
Nose rings don’t add to one’s credibility
Will home workout like pushups increase the size of chest??
Noone was expecting bread
Banana
I recently tried Alpino peanut butter, and now it is my ultimate workout fuel! It is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it keeps me satisfied for hours. Plus, it’s pure peanut flavor without any guilt. Perfect for staying fit and enjoying every bite, workout sessions with good peanut butter and nutrition are equally important.
You don’t need any carbs before workout. Your body has enough glycogen and fats for 2h lasting session. Even if you eat something bigger, blood in your body is then more in your digestive system and less in your muscles where you want it to be.
Jessica: When you were talking about simple foods that your body can process during a workout,I found a baby food were it’s a purée of fruit that I add to my morning oatmeal. Do you think that it might work with energy for a pre-workout meal or snack?
These are HORRIBLE suggestions…. except for #5
Even with #5 I wouldn’t suggest it…..IMO
Thanks for sending information about workout
I have always wondered how some people are able to eat almost a full meal before working out because if I do I would throw up everywhere. My typical snack is two small apples or one large apple before workout
I hope everyone chasing their purpose daily this year !!!! Let’s gooooooo
I agree with most of what’s said. I do not agree with avoiding fats pre-workout. A pre workout meal should consist of simple carbs and protein mostly, but it should have some fats to slow the rate of digestion. It will give a longer sustained energy release during the workout and will help avoid an energy crash. I also don’t like recommending unhealthy foods as simple carb sources.
No overnight oats?
